A history: Monuments to Courage, a History of Beaver County

mcbooki227p161: School and Social Life (cont.), Greenville Men Who Served in the Armed Forces

The Church organizations came into being very early. Mrs. Eliza R. Snow came to Greenville as early as 1870 and organized the Primary, and made Mrs. Robert Edwards first president. The Mutual Improvement Association was organized in 1880, with Mary Jane Miller as president, Margaret Easton and Sarah Miller as counselors. The Relief Society was organized at a very early day in the history of Greenville and has been a helpful and effective organization. In 1935, a movement was made to consolidate the schools of the state, thus making it possible for students of small communities to be allowed the same privileges as students of larger towns, and Greenville lost its school. The school children are hauled by bus to Beaver. This has detracted from the spirit of the town very materially, but the citizens carry on magnificently. They hold their Sunday School and sacrament meetings and much good is accomplished. Up until 1941, Greenville had no electric power, using, until then, the coal oil lamps. The Telluride Power Company that year extended a line to Greenville. In March of 1941, the lights were turned on and the people celebrated in grand style for this wonderful advantage they had received. At present Greenville has a population of approximately 100, with a voting population of 80. Thirty-two children are being transported to and from school each day at Beaver and the people, as usual, are prospering in their work of farming, dairying and stock raising.
